Coronation Street

I am glad that the episodes weren't shown last week.

I must admit, I felt a bit sick when Tony was pointing the gun in the faces of his hostages, all I could think of was... well, last week.

I don't think I need to say any more.

Former Grange Hill actress Georgia May Foote has joined Coronation Street in the role of Izzy Armstrong's younger sister.

I was amazed that Carla showed sympathy for Hayley, begging Tony to let her go.

Hayley was interesting during that hold up Solar Dragon.

She was very manipulative of the situation and knew which buttons to push and could prove she keep control in a crisis.

Credit to her for her skills during these scenes, can't have been easy.

Congratulations to Emily and Rita - Eileen Derbyshire and Barbara Knox for being awarded - MBEs.

About time for this they are wonderful actresses. Well deserved.

Any scene involving Rita & Emily in the Rovers is Coronation Street at it's best. Long live them.

I wonder if Ken Barlow will be made a Sir in the New Years Honours?

After he reaches his 50th Year at Coronation Street.

I thought she was quite funny too, her and Norris go well together, as two of the funniest characters in the show. 

I thought her moment in the corner shop with Gail was also quite a funny too, when she talked about losing the fiver she bet against her in the trial, right in front of her!

For next week.......only 2 episodes!

Sunday 7.30pm-8pm (30 mins)

Thursday 7.30pm-8pm (30 mins)

2. He will be allowed to retake next summer, even if he has left school.
3. It was when she was asked to help out as Peter and Leanne were busy that day. She must have stayed on full time.

Coronation Street bosses are lining up Liz Dawn for one last appearance as Vera Duckworth when hubby Jack leaves the show... despite her character dying two years ago.

The legendary Vera Duckworth will make her return as a ghost on the ITV1 soap, in what has to be one of the most unbelievable stories Corrie writers have ever come up with.

Battleaxe Vera left hubby Jack behind when she passed away in her sleep but producers want her to come back as a ghost for when Jack leaves the cobbles in December after his 31-year stint on the show comes to an end.

Jack - played by Bill Tarmey, 69 - is expected to be involved in a major storyline to give him a fitting exit, to coincide with Corrie's 50th anniversary.

Liz, 70, who first appeared in Corrie in 1974, left the show in January 2008 after being diagnosed with incurable lung disease emphysema.

A Corrie insider told The Sun: "The scriptwriters have been trying to come up with a fitting end for Jack and the ghost idea has become a big hit among the crew."

Jack left Weatherfield earlier this year with new love Connie Rathbone after actor Bill went into semi-retirement due to health problems.

But he will make a return to Weatherfield before leaving completely.

This is just one of the new storylines producers have thought up to spice up the show ahead of its anniversary.

We will also see transsexual Hayley Cropper's wedding to long-term partner Roy and William Roache's sons appear as part of his character – Ken Barlow's - storyline.
